The multi million dollar questions are, can/will /should the west sustain Ukraine that long? And can/will/should Ukraine continue to sacrifice her sons for her sovereignty for that long?
It will be more expensive to take back the occupied territories, for sure. I wouldn’t be surprised if the lines stay more or less where they are indefinitely and have been saying “stalemate” for months now
The absolute state of cakeposting in 2024 seems to effectively be saying “look at this picture of a guy they’re firing as evidence that we were right about Ukraine being Nazis all along” while making fun of people who argue that Russia is the more fascist of the two.
I can’t say that the west will pay for the weapons (and other support, given that we know some goes to the corruption void) or that the Ukraine should pay with her sons, personally. We shall see what happens…
Not fighting back is the alternative to fighting back. I personally hope that the fighting back does happen, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will. And if it does, and fails, then the Ukrainian men would have died for nothing, which is objectively not good.
If I could have my way, Russia would never have invaded at all. As a second choice, I would choose for western taxpayers (of whom I am one), to support Ukraine, but for Ukrainian people not to die. Unfortunately, what I want has very little to do with what is actually happening…
A retarded child might even be able to answer this question.
Can you explain how this fits as a response to what @cdn1234 posted? It seems like a complete non sequitur - maybe you meant to respond to a different post?
Russian families must produce at least two children for the sake of the nation’s ethnic survival, and three or more if it is to develop and thrive, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
In the course of his 24 years in power … Russia suffered two decades of gradual population decline.
